Great, let's go. What are we waiting for ? Forgive my impudent, probably arrogant, impatience... but can't we strap some house building robots and automated minesite equipment to a big rocket and call it a day!
We're used to rapid changes in technological advancement now, Spirit and Opportunity exceeded expectations. You could find some antsy, criminals/men who'd prefer to build a mars base than wait for unemployment cheques, deport them.
The meaning is clear, more land, more resources, an achievement for the history books, technological growth, human flourishing. Our first toe hold in the great cliff face of the milky way galaxy.
Leave the earth management and babysitting work to the government, there's more freedom, love, life and meaning in conquering new worlds as a matter of course, in the human condition.
Why wait!
- DoreenMichele 3y agocan't we strap some house building robots and automated minesite equipment to a big rocket and call it a day! Sure, if all you want to "live" there are robots. If you want to send people, we having annoying little issues to address like a breathable atmosphere, survivable temps and locally grown food.
- johnea 3y agoThe whole idea of populating mars is one of the stupidest things in modern make believe. The place is so uninhabitable that you'll have to live underground. Why not just live underground in Navada? Then when you realize what a bad idea it was, you can simply leave...
- barrysteve 3y agoThere is a deep satisfaction of finally being separate from Government, Market and other people. Witnessing Liberty die from underground Nevada is sad. Watching Liberty die from Mars with a deck chair in a glass dome and beer in hand, is lovely and freeing.
